Abstract

The approximation of the loss probability in finite-buffer queues is a practical problem of considerable interest. A new heuristic is given. This heuristic is based on the equilibrium distribution of the corresponding infinite-buffer queue. Numerical results show an excellent performance of the heuristic.
